Description

    INTRODUCTION
  • The present disclosure relates to rechargeable solid-state batteries and, more particularly, a solid-state battery having an electrode comprising of an electronically conductive polymer.
  • Rechargeable batteries are known to be used in consumer electronic applications from small electronic devices, such as cell phones to larger electronic devices such as laptop computers. Modern rechargeable lithium ion batteries have the ability to hold a relatively high energy density as compared to older types of rechargeable batteries such as nickel metal hydride, nickel cadmium, or lead acid batteries. A benefit of rechargeable lithium ion batteries is that the batteries can be completely or partially charged and discharged over many cycles without retaining a charge memory. In addition, rechargeable lithium ion batteries can be used in larger applications, such as for electric and hybrid vehicles due to the batteries' high power density, long cycle life, and ability to be formed into a wide variety of shapes and sizes so as to efficiently fill available space in such vehicles.
  • Modern rechargeable lithium ion batteries typically utilize organic liquid electrolyte to carry or conduct lithium cations (Li+) between a cathode active material and an anode active material. To further enhance battery performance, organic liquid electrolyte is replaced by solid-state electrolyte (SSE) in more modern batteries. Solid-state electrolytes could broaden the working temperature range and improve energy density of rechargeable lithium ion batteries. Rechargeable lithium ion batteries having solid-state electrolytes are known to be referred to as rechargeable solid-state lithium ion batteries.
  • For the majorities of known electrodes used in rechargeable solid-state lithium batteries, conductive carbon additives are utilized to obtain the desired electronic conduction pathways. However, it was found that the inclusion of carbon additives in the electrodes can stimulate the electrochemical decomposition of solid-state electrolyte, especially the sulfide-based solid-state electrolyte such as Li10GeP2S12 (LGPS), and the decomposition products at the interface will lead to a large interfacial resistance and inferior kinetic performance.
  • Thus, while rechargeable solid-state lithium batteries achieve their intended purpose for use in electric and hybrid vehicles, there is a need for continuous improvement in the composition of the electrodes to obtain the desired electronic conduction pathways with minimal to no decomposition of the solid-state electrolyte (e.g. LGPS) at the interface.
